GA: 63 pit bulls rescued from large-scale dogfighting ring

Sixty-three pit bulls were rescued from a large-scale dogfighting ring in Dodge County.

The dogs were seized during a midnight raid at a home on Rozar Goolsby Road outside Eastman March 17, said Assistant District Attorney Chris Gordon of the Oconee Judicial Circuit.

Seven people were arrested on dogfighting charges, including a resident of the home, James Lampkin, Gordon said. Others included Benjamin Shinhoster, Dwight McDuffie, Deveon Hood, Joe Ford, Xavier Simmons and Andre Archer .

The raid followed a Georgia State Patrol stop of a vehicle that authorities were looking for earlier that night. The discovery of a bloodied dog inside gave authorities what they needed to get a search warrant for the Rozar Goolsby Road property.
